Senators want West Pokot MCAs to impeach Deputy Governor Nicholas Atudonyang who has been practising medicine in Texas since 2018. The committee made the recommendation after Governor John Lonyangapuo wrote to the county assembly, and copied the Senate, seeking their intervention on his absentee deputy. However, he has continued to draw salary from the public coffers as deputy governor. Others said he was sourcing medical equipment for West Pokot in America while there were also claims he would work without pay. He said Atudonyang has been unable to come back to take up his role as deputy governor because he was still nursing his immediate “sick family”.
